Until today's comics grow out of the puerile urge to swear for laughs, there can never be another truly funny sitcom.
Foul language kills good comedy. It ditches the need for wit or clever characters, and replaces them with an easy spatter of obscenity.
Meet The Richardsons (Dave) is a prime example. Husband-and-wife comedians Jon Richardson and Lucy Beaumont have poured their hearts into this mock documentary about their domestic life.
But they grew up in the school of comedy that believes all you have to do to get a laugh is reel off a stream of profanities for a punchline. Every laugh is undermined, because the couple can always take the easy route by saying something dirty.
